🔴 What dry eye treatments have you tried? What worked the best for you and brought you the most relief?

[@jewelphoenix2334]

I use liquid tears individual pippettes her in Australia

[@ahmadnabas9225]

I did 4 IPL Sessions Day 1, Day 15 and Day 45 and the (optional Day 75), and I haven't felt any improvement.

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

@@jewelphoenix2334 Are those the same as just preservative free tears?

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

@@ahmadnabas9225 That sounds very frustrating. I imagine your oil glands look much better from your doctor's point of view though and you probably held your dryness from getting worse. Has anything helped?

I use Hylo-forte :) I spend a lot of time on the computer. dries my eyes!

Thanks doc! I have evaporative dry eye and got my first round of IPL treatment today. I’m hoping it works. Praying to get back to my contact lenses soon. ❤ Turns out that I’m not closing my eyes all the way when I blink. I still have healthy meiobian glands, thankfully. After this video I’m wondering if I should get my thyroid checked!!

thanks a lot for your videos! i'm going through medical school right now and your channel helped me a lot in my ophtalmology studies. i'm getting very interested in the field and i was thinking of buying an ophtalmoscope to familiarize myself with the instrument and get some practice. would you recommed it? if yes do you have a suggestion on which type would be useful ad worth it for a medical student?

Can you please tell me how you did that ?

[@windskm]

I got blepharitis in one eye two months ago and I've been treating it and it's getting much better however one month ago i started feeling dryness - but in the other eye! It only bothered me at night and when I wake up. Now it's only when I wake up because I've been using eye drops regularly during the day - but I'm yet to wake up and not have that minor inconvenience when opening the eyes and feeling a bit of pain.

[@fransicoolive7202]

It's a really useful video, I really appreciate your sharing. In addition, I don't know if I should buy NuLids or Eye Eco now, Does anyone give a suggestion?

[@mathews4265]

Hi Dr, Can you please make a video on implantable collamer lens surgery. I would like to hear your thoughts on the same. 🙏

[@aninditajose]

About 6 months back I started having blurry vision for a couple of seconds at a time which would just get back to normal on its own, mostly while looking at something bright but also while looking at anything at all. My eye doctor told me its possibly dry eye and left me with OTC drops but it didn't help, finally they did a Schrimer's test and diagnosed I have dry eye and asked me to take an Omega supplement and use preservative free drops.

[@robertaveries156]

Have you tried using manuka honey to reduce inflammation around the meibomiam glands? I have evaporative dry eye and eye drops alone haven't really had the impact I hoped. I have started using the manuka eye gel from Optimel although it remains to be seen whether there is any improvement. I will definitely try out a sleep mask too.

[@madeleine1313]

Thanks Doc :)

[@doubleaa1025]

Have you made a video about double vision? Or glasses with prisms to prevent double vision while wearing them ?

[@jessicakennyevans]

These are super informative videos! Thank you from Ireland! ☘️ I just started using preservative free eye drops 5-6 times a day which really helps and I've just ordered a warm compress after watching your videos. I wonder are there any genetic causes related to dry eye? My mom, my grandad and I all have severe dry eye in the same eye with very similar symptoms. Might just be a coincidence though!

[@villanas]

Thank you!!! I agree

[@wyh88]

Thank you for sharing so many treatments for dry eyes. I always have very sticky eyelids when waking up and dry eyes during the days. Is there a treatment for this ?

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Tough to say what is going on without an exam. But I would think MGD may have something to do with it.

[@ElfQueenTea]

@@DoctorEyeHealth I also have very sticky eyelids for both top and bottom where the eyelash is and suffer from dry eyes during the day and at night. I only wear glasses and this has been going on for about two years now. I did eye exams and the doctor said I have normal and healthy eye but when I mentioned the eyelids he only told me to use eye drops which I already been doing.

Any plans on making a video on HOAs? I got lasik almost three years ago and my HOAs are very annoying when watching TV in low light or at the movie theater, and driving on the road from one city to another is very very uncomfortable and dangerous. I know sclerals are probably the best solution for me at this point, but I'd still be interesting to hear your thoughts on a video. Cheers!

[@kamilekapel]

I have had dry eyes since getting upper and lower eyelid surgery in Mexico. The surgeon tells me I will get better in time. I sure hope so! It's been six and a half months. I am loving the Manuka honey gel but I still need to use other drops as well (about once per hour). I do warm and cold compresses and sometimes they help. I'm seeing a specialist this week to inquire about IPL. I'm still trying to understand what went wrong. One specialist said I was predisposed to dry eye for this surgery because I've had lasik and had dry eyes with contacts and I smoke cannabis. I can't smoke cannabis anymore because it makes my eyes hurt. I take the "dry eye" oil and cod liver oil. I am currently giving up coffee, alcohol, weed and sugar and it's helping. My eyes are no longer sore. Just dry. I used the anti-biotic eye drops for two months instead of two weeks! Because the surgeon didn't tell me to stop and I didn't know that tobramacina Dexametasona meant anti-biotic drops and you don't need a prescription in Mexico to get more. Apparently, overuse of those can cause dry eye. I also went outside in the dirty Mexican air after I had my stitches removed and I worry that I injured my meobolian glands. Oy!

[@beebsblue]

Sadly we as eye doctors often make dry eyes worse with our glaucoma drops, cataract surgery and repeated povidone iodine for anti-VEGF injections! Personally I recommend hylo night for severe dry eye. New subbie 😊

[@jennifermcardle9846]

Yes, sadly I've experienced this syndrome. 2 months of blepharitis, sties & the development of a chalazion on my upper eyelid. Specialist acknowledged drops for glaucoma exacerbated the dry eyes. I've learnt a lot from this You tube post.

[@amandarose7230]

My doctor did blood work on me. My hormones are off which does contribute to dry eye. I’m currently on testosterone and progesterone. Guess we will see if this helps. Thanks Dr. I have been following you and warm compress, hydration and taking time to rest my eyes.

[@alekseyyulchuraev1207]

can u make a video on types of Glaucoma surgery and difference between them

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Yes! I hope to some day! (It is a bit restrictive right now in the OR due to covid) but I hope we can do more videos on surgery soon

[@ayush3334]

Hey can you please make a video about how your evaporative dry eyes began and what symptoms you are currently experiencing if any. I think talking about your dry eyes will help alot of people suffering from it. Dry is a really crippling syndrome especially for young people, like myself recently turned 18.

But actually now I finally anylezed all info and I have a faith in Omega-3. I believe I will beat it .

Hello Doctor i have a question? My wife had cararact surgery and had a lens implant. Its been 6 day's since her surgery and i give her 1 drop each of ketorolac sol 0.5%,Ofloxacin OPTH 0.3% and Prednisolone OPH. SUS 1%. My wife tells me she have eye pain with headache on back of her head, so how long does take for patient to have eye relief???

[@slambangwallop]

Onions!! I think chopping them helps hack enzyme flow, encouraging a natural regeneration of fatty acid function. Their being a source of quercetin makes them a natural histamine, also. A good sign would be when your nostrils get runny or react to the onion upon taste. I get very dry eyes often, but that provides relief. As does CBD, and fish liver oil. I would guess that anandamide encourages mucous production.

[@Emily-dn3cs]

Can you do a video about posterior uveitis? For people who have new floaters, how do we know if it is being caused by a disease process? I have 2 new floaters that are fairly large and I don’t know if it could be something serious? I don’t have flashes of light.

Hello, Doctor. Thank you for the video. I am from Algeria. I have had a corneal resection surgery in Tunisia and since the last 4 years, I wear hard lenses and they are very effective. I want to go to study in Canada, does the snow have the same thirsts on the eyes when wearing the contact lenses? Does it enter the eye like dust or not?

How do I ask a question? I was curious about the shape of the lens? Do we have the same focus for our central vision as our peripheral? If so, if eye glasses were less flat and more curved like our eyes could we see without regions of distracting distortion?

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Really great question! the focus of your central vision is not the same as the peripheral because the crystalline lens is not perfectly spherical and the distance of the image to be focused on the retina is at a different focal length when it is in the periphery vs the fovea (central vision). The cause for the distortion in the glasses lenses is not caused by poor focus of the image to the retina as it is refraction of light through the thicker edges of the glasses lenses the further they get out from the optical center of the lens. It creates what is called induced prism (calculated by Prentice's rule). Interestingly enough, the concept of the peripheral defocus is a major study in the development of progressive myopia in children, and a new glasses lens is now developed to minimize this defocus in the promise to reduce the advancement of the nearsightedness. we live in an amazing world. I hope this helps answer your question. Thanks for watching!

My eyelids are often itchy and I have been experiencing burning sensation lately. Could it be due to blepharitis? Thanks, Doctor Allen!

For example, Samsung has a function called "Eye saver Mode" which actually burns my eyes because the brightness is preset, in one word: useless. I need to buy a big monitor because I need big space in the screen. I am thinking about buying one of these: "LG43UN700-B" or "LG49WL95C-W" What is your opinion? I am open to other suggestions.

I just found out last week that I have a *mild* form of endothelial dystrophy/Fuch's dystrophy and I have a computer job. I also have MGD and some of my glands have died off. Do you have any advice for me? Other than what I have seen in your videos (so not your usual advice like omega 3s, hydrate, lid scrub, warm compress, etc)? I intermittently./frequently have blurred vision (especially in the morning) and prescriprion glasses don't help me.

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

So endo dystrophy can cause blurred vision in the mornings due to corneal swelling (corneal edema). Using over the counter Muro 128 drops can help and some people even blow warm air on their eyes ( from a hair dryer) to help pull moisture from the cornea and clear up vision. Best to ask your doctor before trying anything but those are some things that could help. I need to make a video on Fuchs

Pls tell me the diffrence between lasic surgery , contura vision and epi contura.

Contura is just a technology that uses wave guided optics. That means it uses very high tech scanning to detect corneal imperfections to improve vision clearity and remove distortions. This may improve your chances of having better acuity with less glare and problems with contrast after surgery. Epi - contoura or epi- lasik is very similar to PRK, just without the use of alcohol.

I have severe dry eyes. Tears evaporate too quickly. My best remedy has always been just getting 8-9 hours of sleep. Sleeping at 11pm-12am. Eye drops really don't work for me.

How it is now I have same dry eye ,any suggestions for me ?

Thank you for the suggestion! I have so many glasses brands to review! I have several coming up but I will put this one on the list.

I have cloudy ☁️vision with starburst. and halos, but most eye clinics🏥: I've been to think I'm crazy, 🤯they say everything look's good 🤪😳

[@gooner1248]

I have been using warm compresses and when I put them off the sight in my left eye is blurry for minutes while my right eye almost isn’t blurry at all. Does this mean my glands in the right eye are blocked/died?

[@PinkSharkYT]

This happens to me. I don’t believe it is too do with the glands, it’s to do with the cornea reshaping temporarily.

Is there something that works great for thyroid eye disease? I had to stop Tepezza because of side effects.

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

If you are having double vision because of the TED then your surgeon may discuss surgery. Otherwise if you are having dryness from the exposure then using eye drops, gels and nightime moisture goggles may help. Are you having dryness, double or anything else?

[@clarissamck]

I'm seeing a ocuplastic surgeon at UCSD and I tried the tepezza at 3 infusions and i had an issue. I'm seriously having chronic dry mouth and sinuses and eyes. I have had diplopia a long time and am wearing prism in my glasses. Cant see the surgeon until 3 months as that's what I was told. My last infusion was Aug 31, 2020

[@naksnamantalaga]

For the warm compress, do i need to a microwave oven to heat the mask? any alternatives?

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Thankfully, several dry eye masks do not need a microwave. The Tranquileyes XL/ cloud and vibes do not need a microwave and neither does the TearRestore.

Tried lipiflow not a great success. Also told to do warm compress, special cleanser, take expensive fish oil pills

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Fish oil can be expensive depending on the brand. I find some success with it but it’s tough. What has worked the most for you?

[@demar_makavveli]

Question is it normal that my eyes are dry when wearing contacts for the first time and that my vision blur slightly while Im issuing my phone?? I normally wore glasses but I’m transitioning to contacts instead...going back to the Optometrist in a week

[@AreeeAsh]

Same thing is happening to me! My eyes get dry and then my vision gets blurry. I also cant see near me properly when the lens gets dry

Dr. I have just started watching your videos and I am suffering from dry eyes for one year now, I have visited three different doctors and they just prescribe me the artificial eye drops. Actually I am a software engineer and I work mostly with screens. What happens to me is when I sleep at night, my eye lids dont close properly and they get dried out throughout the night and when I wake up and put water in it (to wash the face), eyes hurt very badly and gets red, which leads to double vision throughout the day. I have got the tests done, I dont have diabetes and I have taken different multivitamins as well to cope up with any muscle weakness as well. You are the last hope for my eye comfort, can you please tell me if you're familiar with this problem and what should I do?

Can you talk about ghosting vision?

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Yes! Oftentimes due to uncorrected astigmatism or other corneal distortions. Sometimes due to retinal issues such as an epiretinal membrane. Most ghosting improves with a new glasses prescription but sometime it needs special contact lenses

[@ifilmalot]

@@DoctorEyeHealth THANKS! Google said I had a brain tumor and was dying! My doctor said I had healthy eyes and checked out my retinas and pressure (full eye exam) etc. but definitely needed glasses. The ghosting was still there a tad bit with glasses and then recently just tried contacts at 34 lol and it took the ghosting away!!!! It was like an image on top of an image but not really double vision....worse after lying down and getting back up and definitely worse at night!

[@jayalysmith6578]

Is Visine a good option for dry eye?

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

In general, no. You want to avoid anything that says "get the red out" and anything with preservatives. With that being said, Visine may have some preservative free lubricant drops without the "get the red out" medications included.

Can dry eyes cause headaches when you read? After 10 pages or so my eyes are burning and I get a headache which make me have to stop reading. Contemplating whether I should buy OTC products or go to the doctor.

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Vision can fluctuate easy with dry eyes and yes the eyes will be red and feel like they burn, but it is always a good idea to have it checked by a doctor and see what the best treatment would be for you. I hope you feel better!

[@gooner1248]

@@DoctorEyeHealth thank you very much for your answer. Will try to maken an appointment asap. In the mean time, as you mentioned you struggle with dry eyes yourself, do you have any problems with reading or any tips for relief?

[@zigbig2]

I have extreme dry eye after LASIK. I've used every drop on the market I can find, but settled on Systane Ultra. It works better than everything else I've tried, but I'm still miserable. I had LASIK 2 1/2 years ago. What would be other drops similar to them? I've only ever used preservative free drops since I use about 60 drops a day.

[@nikkiscrud1136]

I recommend going back to your doctor and seeing if you could get a prescription for Restasis. I had Lasik as well and have the same issue. I was using Systane Ultra too, but just recently switched to Optase, the formula is a bit thicker. Also, since the Restasis wasn’t 100% effective for my dry eyes, I just got punctual plugs. However, Restasis is usually enough. Best of luck to you! 👍

@doctor eye health Hi, I have a problem with eyes where I will put artificial tears in my eyes and for 10 mins my eyes become fresh etc. but after the 10 minutes I feel like they are becoming inflamed again and they become gritty. I have been diagnosed with evaporative dry eye and eye allergies, I have raised bumbs on my eyelids. What is the best eye drops for this? I use pataday for allergies but this alone and warm compresses dont do too much to be honest. Best relief is artificial tears but only legitimately last 10-15 mins never longer.

[@Kelly-lx8gs]

do you use preservative-free eye drops (throw away after one use)? the ones with preservatives if you put too much actually makes your eyes worse. i was told by my doctor to use systane ultra preservative free every 2 hours at first, and now i can go on for much longer. more expensive though

[@althofali9484]

I have a huge question, i get these pimples on the inner eye lid. And they are painful, anyway to avoid them or get rid of them. 🥺🥺

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Interesting. Are you sure they are pimples? Are they Styes? Do they pop like pimples? If so, check out my other videos on eyelid styes. That might help.

[@althofali9484]

@@DoctorEyeHealth i have tried various methods you were talkin about, and they go and come back. And i have noticed if you wash your eyes every night before going to bed it is less likely that i get a stye. So should talk about this with my doctor. 🤧🥲

Sir how to ready for eye surgery I swear plz sir I had next week

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

Thank you for asking! What type of surgery? Did you surgeon or clinic recommend anything? Usually using artificial tears several times a day is good as that can help soothe the ocular surface before surgery as many of the prescription eye drops can interfere with the eye's surface and make things more dry. Being that I don't know what surgery you are going for, I strongly suggest you ask the doctor or the clinic you are going to.
